As you know we have already had thanksgiving here in Canada--and it is not the BIG holiday it is in the States, so there is no "beginning" to the Christmas season, really.Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-43920502956179515772013-11-02T08:10:31.698-06:002013-11-02T08:10:31.698-06:00I am generally a staunch "No Christmas before...I am generally a staunch "No Christmas before Thanksgiving" kind of curmudgeon, but I'm rethinking that a bit this year. I've decided I want to take care of my gifts for everyone but my kids in November, so that I can stretch out the spending and not get caught up in spending too much--because once I get past a certain point of "too much" it starts to seem like it doesn't matter and becomes too easy to spend way too much.<br /><br />I still won't decorate or play Christmas music or any of that until after Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday!), but I can see that sticking my head in the sand and pretending Christmas won't bother me if I ignore it hasn't been working so well for me the past few years!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04227597091783239454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-66192789574791071032013-11-02T05:51:13.107-06:002013-11-02T05:51:13.107-06:00@I -- Thank you!
